Jonah Paul Soucy is a Catholic speaker, musician, and author who hails from the wonderful Catholic community of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. At a young age, Jonah experienced God in a powerful way through the beauty of the White Mountains of New Hampshire, the state where he grew up. As he grew older, he experienced God more fully through encountering Him in Eucharistic Adoration and in prayer. Currently serving as a youth minister in the Diocese of Pittsburgh, Jonah recently received a Master of Arts in Catechetics and Evangelization from Franciscan University. He lives in the South Hills of Pittsburgh with his wife, Shannon, and their son Aiden.
